The South China Morning Post launched a new homepage section to tie together reports about electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, aerospace and biomedicine to offer readers a window into six of the industrial sectors that are most critical to China’s economic future.

The China Future Tech section provides readers with a one-stop homepage for tracking the latest developments and trends in the six sectors, which are chosen because of their implications for not only China’s economic and technology future, but also the country’s geopolitics and trade ties with the rest of the world.

China Future Tech includes years of in-depth news reports, analysis by SCMP’s journalists and commentary by executives and opinion leaders about these sectors, which are also the most-read themes across SCMP platforms.

For SCMP readers who are interested in China’s growing technology and manufacturing capabilities in sectors such as electric vehicles and semiconductors, China Future Tech aims to become their daily go-to source for related information.

The launch of China Future Tech is part of SCMP’s efforts to make its world-class content more relevant and easier to access for the general public by providing premium data and information services to core readers.

The six sectors are among the 10 areas that China’s government earmarked in 2015 for rapid development as part of a 10-year self-reliance drive dubbed “Made in China 2025”. That programme in turn became a target for the Trump administration in the United States a couple of years later.
